Gone for Milk........

Postby LostDingo on Sun Jul 02, 2006 12:34 pm

this weekend I have been given multiple tasks around the house I must complete( "honey do's")...this meant no ability to go out and take early morning photos.

I wake early anyway and while walking the dog notice in the semi darkness the cloud cover and though "geez I wish I could go a take a seascape" but this was not in the cards.

I did notice when returning home though there was no milk :idea: :idea: Now how can I make my better half morning tea without milk :twisted: So I advised "honey...off to get milk" :idea: :idea: and just so happened I took my D2xs, a wide angle lens and tripod :twisted: :twisted: :idea: :idea:

This is my result from my early morning milk run :D :D

Hi Paul,
Very nice shot from your early morning milk run!

Did you pick up or deliver milk at the Balmain East Wharf? :lol:

Now I know this contains ”the bridge” but this shot is so different from the norm with the interest in the foreground - a very nice shot.

But at least no duck, :shock: I'm happy. :wink:

That's one of the spot among other spots in Balmain, I recommended to have the sunrise shooting at Balmain, then walk back onto Darling St to have a nice cup of cappucino.

Maybe not up here in the sticks, but in the city there's more 24hr convenience stores than there are Starbucks! :shock:

I normally don't comment on the soh and bridge pictures, but this one has a great atmosphere. Nice shot. I do find the foreground a little distracting, possibly because of the orange glow contrasting with the nice colours in the sky.

I met him yesterday and he said: he's going to get it very soon.

Mine is on its way, replaces the "ageing D2h".

And very soon the D200s will replace the "ageing D100".

The D100 is still on Tour Of Duty in the past 4 months.
